Integrity Principles 57: Have the Courage to Change Your Mind

10 Apr Integrity Principles 57: Have the Courage to Change Your Mind

Stubbornness is not integrity. True integrity includes the humility to admit when you were wrong and grow beyond it.

To implement this principle:

• Be Open to Feedback: View it as a mirror, not an attack.

• Separate Ego from Truth: Changing your mind isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.

• Apologize Authentically: When needed, say “I was wrong” and mean it.

• Update Publicly: Let others see your growth—it builds credibility.

My Assignment: Write a blog about a belief or position you changed after reflection—and how it shaped your leadership.
